    From Nighthawk@21:1/146.1 to All on Wednesday, February 14, 2018 10:15:26
    Hello All,

    Back on the old days, I used to have an app for my RA system that could
    convert a text file into a nice .ANS, and I used that for general
    announcements or news that was shown to callers soon after the one-liners.

    Is there any app with similar functionality available for Mystic?

    Either use the old RA app if you can find it, or try xqtr's BlockArt from fsx_utils which can use Fonts from The Draw (.tdf) to make it look good.
